Born in Japan. Built for Muslims.
Where Japan Meets the Muslim World.
Muslims love Japan. But finding halal Japanese products? That's a different story.
JAPANeid (pronounced 'japaniid') was built to change that. A brand under J-Line Corporation — a Japanese company based in Osaka — JAPANeid curates authentic halal and Muslim-friendly products straight from Japan to the world. Our name blends "JAPAN" with "Eid", the Arabic word for feast and celebration. Because enjoying Japan should feel like one.
Our Mission
To make the best of Japan accessible to every Muslim, wherever they are in the world.
Through our Halal Souvenir Shop and Muslim Tourist Information Centre in Osaka, our online shop, and our curated halal and Muslim-friendly product range, we're here to make sure Muslims never have to miss out on Japan.

Where It All Began
JAPANeid is a brand under J-Line Corporation, a Japanese company based in Osaka. Before JAPANeid, J-Line launched Salam Groovy Japan — a Muslim-focused media platform sharing halal travel tips, restaurant guides, and lifestyle content about Japan. Seeing the growing demand from Muslims for authentic Japanese products, the team took the next step.
